Composing your article
Previous page  First page  Next page

Let's take a closer look at the Post Article page. You compose articles in the Article Content area, as shown in the graphic above.

For now, we'll concern ourselves only with the basics of composing an article:


Article Title
Enter the title of your article into the Article Title field. The title can be up to 254 characters long. In your blog, it typically appears in boldface and larger than the body text, and it appears before the body text.

If you do not enter a title for an article, it will appear in your blog with the title "Untitled".


Article Body
Enter the body of your article into the Article Body Editor. The body is the main part of your article. It can consist of virtually any length of text and can contain just about anything that can be put into a web page (including text, links, images and so on). For now, we'll enter only text.

You enter the body into a special text field called the Article Text Editor, which has features that offer "What You See Is What You Get" or "WYSIWYG"-style editing, just like a word processor.
